A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT SEAT BELTS WILL BE INSPECTED AS PART OF THE ANNUAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-183.3(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Safety. – A safety inspection of a motor vehicle consists of an inspection of the following equipment to determine if the vehicle has the equipment required by Part 9 of Article 3 of this Chapter and if the equipment is in a safe operating condition:
(1)	Brakes, as required by G.S. 20-124.
(2)	Lights, as required by G.S. 20-129 or G.S. 20-129.1.
(3)	Horn, as required by G.S. 20-125(a).
(4)	Steering mechanism, as required by G.S. 20-123.1.
(5)	Windows and windshield wipers, as required by G.S. 20-127.
(6)	Directional signals, as required by G.S. 20-125.1.
(7)	Tires, as required by G.S. 20-122.1.
(8)	Mirrors, as required by G.S. 20-126.
(9)	Exhaust system, as required by G.S. 20-128. For a vehicle that is subject to an emissions inspection in addition to a safety inspection, a visual inspection of the vehicle's emission-control devices is included in the emissions inspection rather than the safety inspection.
(10)	Seat belts, as required by G.S. 20-135.2."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective December 1, 1995.
